Hey dipshit....
Do you know when the most devastating hurricane happened in the US History......
it was 1900 in TX. Do you think they can measure the windspeed as accurate as they can today? Do you think they can measure the pressure as accurate as they can today, do you think the "scale" they rate everything is the same as it is today.... ie: Category 5 and what not..... FUCK NO.
That is my point.
Also "now" they measure devastation by DOLLAR amount of damage. Not loss of life. Back in 1900.... did homes have granite counter tops.... hell during Katrina did homes have granite, maple wood flooring, ceramic tiles, hardwood cabinets, etc. NO... they have carpet, linoleum, Formica counter tops, chipboard/hardboard cabinets, etc.
But yeah.... again. I just 'schooled" you with facts. History is fun once you actually go look into it.
You know SCIENCE is questioning things is how you advance.
Now if you want to get back to the original OP..... Yes humans are causing flooding. But it's not "climate change".... it is the fucking change they are doing to the dirt. LIke I keep saying. Concrete, drain tile, building in places that shouldn't be built, diverting water to places it shouldn't be going naturally, draining wetlands, etc. Every roof of a home is diverting water away from natural absorption into the ground.
So if you want to do easy math.... for every inch of water that falls is about .6 gallons of water per sqft. So if a home footprint is 1500 sqft. That is about 900 gallons of water run off per in of rain. So if 2 inches of rain comes in 30 mins that is 1800 gallons from 1 fucking home need to go somewhere. Now think of a housing development with 200 homes.....360,000 gallons of water..... Not to even mention drive ways, roads, etc that is shedding water. That is all reverted to storm sewers that is reverted to a stream that is pushed to a river. GET IT.
